Concord has been rated one of the safest and best places to live, not only in New Hampshire, but in the country.
The Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce and Intown Concord partnered to present "Spread Joy, Shop Concord" during the 2021 holiday season. Presented by NBT Bank, N.A., this campaign spread the word about the importance of shopping locally for the holidays. We told stories about local business owners, their employees, friends, and family who were impacted by your shopping choices during the holiday season. And we shared inspiring gift ideas, community events, special deals and much more!
Check out a recent Concord Monitor article about Spread Joy, Shop Concord!
Downtown Concord offers a wide variety of stores, so you can find the perfect gifts this season. On Saturdays in December, festive music will be playing outdoors to get you in the holiday spirit! Check out the Chamber's Membership Directory, so you can plan your shopping trip.
